A question about using Audirvana 3.5.50 and HQP Embedded

[AudioDoctor]

As some of you may know, Audirvana can send music to a UPnP end point, and HQP Embedded can accept UPnP streams. What I don't know is this. If Audirvana is getting its music files from Qobuz, or a local network share, does it send that file directly to the UPnP end point from the network share, or Qobuz, or would it get the file from wherever it is, bring it to the computer running audirvana, and then send it out again to the UPnP endpoint, in this case HQPe?

 

Thanks.

Audirvana will first decode the file etc. IIRC, it will always send just "WAV".

Ah I see. Damn, I thought I was on to a loophole about using my phone to control Qobuz to HQP.
